Ethyl sorbate, 96%

Description

CAS: 2396-84-1 | C8H12O2 | 140.18 g/mol

The addition of chlorine and bromine to ethyl sorbate (la) gave 1, 2-and 1, a-dihalo products derived from attack of the halogen. Chlorination of la under ionic conditions proceeds through a tightly bridged chloronium ion intermediate.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
